Does this still work? 18.1.4+

Sorry, maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but here goes. AFAICT the primary use for this tool is remote web dev tools.

This lists 3 frontends: firefox, safari forks, and chrome devtools.

• Chrome devtools, as reported, are simply no longer compatible. Per Empty devtools window #422

• The firefox plugin (valence) is archived and hasn't been updated in 6 years. Supposedly firefox is now natively compatible with chrome remote debug protocol, but no mention of safari (and I'd guess not). Trying the built dev tools with the ios remote shows the same as Empty devtools window #422

• Of the safari-related tools, one is archived, the other clones webkit to get required files. But webkit appears to no longer be tagging safari versions - does this mean they aren't releasing safari-related changes any more? I tried https://git.gay/besties/ios-safari-remote-debug but also getting "Unsupported IOS version" and looking at the source it clones webkit for required files too

TBH I assume both chrome and firefox, to some extent, were relying on webkit source.

Ah, the webkit tags aren't updated but main has recent ios version files, and it looks like https://github.com/HimbeersaftLP/ios-safari-remote-debug-kit maybe doesn't need you to specify a tag like ios-safari-remote-debug does.

Still, would it be possible to update the documentation to list fewer dead-ends (or maybe at least be more clear about what the valid choices are?)

Hey @andrewbaxter, thanks for pointing this out I'll see if I can make docs a bit less confusing.

I had issues with most Safari/Webkit tools listed,. Then I made my own → https://github.com/shanto/iOS-WebKit-Debug
Seeking feedback and linking if appropriate. Thank you.

It's commercial.

For folks coming by here unsure how to get this working, I can confirm I had success using https://github.com/HimbeersaftLP/ios-safari-remote-debug-kit on Fedora linux. Though I also had to change a Fedora setting to get usbmuxd to work: libimobiledevice/usbmuxd#207.
